By Elizabeth Pineau and Elizabeth Piper LONDON (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron will announce tougher migration controls on Thursday, capping a state visit when they agreed to deeper defence and nuclear cooperation in a more volatile world.

Starmer and Macron intend to unveil a one-in, one-out returns policy on Thursday. Initially, it would allow up to 50 small boat migrants – arriving in the UK via the English Channel – to be sent back to France every week. These migrants would be returned to locations across France, away from its northern coast.

Macron looked a little uncomfortable with his baffling choice of a three-piece suit as the temperature rose inside too.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accepted an invitation to visit U.S. President Donald Trump during his expected trip to Scotland this month, a source familiar with the plans said on Thursday.
